Good-hearted drama critic, Mortimer Brewster, appears to lead a normal, happy life. Recently engaged to be married, Mortimer plans a trip to visit his charming, spinster aunts, Abby and Martha Brewster. However, shortly after Mortimer’s arrival, he discovers that his innocent aunts have a deadly secret buried in the basement–about a dozen older gentlemen. To Mortimer’s dismay, Abby and Martha deem their poisonous habits as charitable acts, convinced that they are putting these men out of their misery. Attempting to protect society without sending Abby and Martha to prison, hilarity and madness ensue as Mortimer tries to wrangle in his crazy aunts, along with his brothers–Theodore, who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt, and maniacal, murderous Jonathan.

Synopsis:

On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power, and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will.  When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men that wronged him. Creating a vast, magical storm, he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake, they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.  The Tempest will be the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for young theatre-goers and families.
